NOTE: This event is managed by WebJunction. Please check their calendar (registration link above) for any changes to this event. A webinar on technology training for communities. Learn how OASIS Connections classes are helping communities build skills and confidence using computers, the Internet and today's technology. More Americans than ever are coming to their libraries to access the Internet and get help connecting with their families, the job market and online services. Many library visitors lack basic computer skills, or need to learn the essential technology skills to apply for and land a job. With continual technology change, libraries are challenged to provide quality, up-to-date curriculum for their communities. OASIS Connections, a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting successful aging through lifelong learning, healthy living and social engagement, has partnered with urban and rural libraries across the country to provide a cost-effective training solution that helps adults of all ages develop technology skills and confidence. Learn how different library systems have adopted the program to serve varying local needs. Presented by: *Amy VanDeVelde, National Program Manager OASIS Connections *Mary Bush, Librarian Public Technology Training, Multnomah County Library *Hayley St. John-Ayre, Administrative Coordinator 2, Broward County Library

WJ: Support Patron Learning in Small Spaces with Small Budgets

2013-06-12T08:00:00-05:00

Wednesday, June 12 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM
WJ Webex Room
NOTE: This event is managed by WebJunction. Please check their calendar (registration link above) for any changes to this event. This webinar will showcase how small and rural libraries can provide effective training to patrons even with limited staff, resources, or space. In small communities, libraries can often be the only provider of free public access to technology and the internet. And as more people turn to their library to learn technology skills, even the tiniest of libraries are faced with the challenge of providing training to patrons with limited staff, resources, and space. Learn from small and rural libraries who are making training a reality for their patrons, using volunteers, leveraging partnerships and integrating learning into everyday interactions. Whether the technology training you do (or want to do) is one-to-one, on-the-fly or a more formal program, this session will include tips and suggestions for improving the effectiveness of the training you provide. This webinar is hosted in collaboration with TechSoup for Libraries and the Association for Rural and Small Libraries. Presented by: Brenda Hough and Stephanie Gerding, consultants, TechSoup for Libraries and Wendy Street, director, Pella Public Library, Iowa.
